Burning speed

Just curious how many people still adhere to the no faster than x 4 rule for burning cd's??
I just loaded up a stack of Verbatim Super Azo's with tracks and threw caution to the wind and burnED at x 16
I'm guessing time will tell with regards to errors etc, but my mate told me he has always used x 32 and never had a problem. |

| I have burned hundreds of discs all at high speed for years and years, and I have never had errors and glitches. Slow burning is a waste of time and one of those perpetual bull stories with no basis IMO. |

| Speed isn't the issue. But IMO if your comp has been on for several days and you start burning, it may cause errors, if Windows is acting slow. So booting the system is good before burn session. |

lol, that's complete bull. I take it you don't really know much about how CDs actually work. |

| I burn at 24x without issues. I could go for 52x as any cds I've burned at the speed have worked out fine as well; I'm just a bit more cautious with the cds I actually mix. |

| I burn at half the speed of the rated media. Never had issues. Definitely no need to burn at anything slower these days. |

| I usually burn at the max speed the CD was designed for. I've personally never had an issue. |
